Is cold cereal real food and which goes first, milk or cereal?
Alicia: I think it's a real food. I usually can't get myself to eat heavy meals so it's nice to have something that's easy on my stomach. someone will say I'm a lunatic, but I pour the milk before the cereal so I can put the milk carton back into the fridge before I start eating without having to worry about my cereal getting soggy.
Kattar: then how on earth are you supposed to make sure you get the right milk to cereal ratio you madwoman? It's okay to let the cereal absorb a LITTLE bit of milk. Your cereal isn't going to turn into pudding in the 40 seconds it takes to put the milk back in the fridge, and trying to pour cereal into a bowl full of milk just makes a mess.
Andrew: I wasn't aware cereal and milk required a ratio...
Jinho: Or you could just leave the milk out for the five minutes it takes to eat a bowl of cereal. You're gonna need to pour another one. Heaven knows one bowl of cold cereal has never quelled anyone's hunger in the history of ever.
Andrew: (mildly) I pour my milk first, but I can understand both perspectives, I'm not really stuck on it. It's just because my older sister always used to do milk first so it's what I'm used to. My auntie used to tell me I was a crazy person for doing milk first, "what do you think you are, a little heathen?" but she was always joking so...
Jinho: Also cereal is not food.
Kattar: I agree, it's more of a dessert.
Alicia: Kattar Moon!
Kattar: It requires a spoon Miss Thang, so according to your definition, it is one.
Andrew: What if you just eat it dry out of hand?
Jinho: Oh heaven.
Kattar: that's a whole 'nother arguement.
Andrew: I think cereal is a light breakfast. Like a piece of toast, or a yogurt, or anything else you eat when you just want a little something to get started in the day. I can't eat anything that light because I burn a lot of energy with my job, but I used to eat it more often when I was little.
Jinho: I was going to say it's kibble for people.
Kattar: Well yeah, it's that too.
Melissa: It's food! And I will eat until the cows come home! Do not tell me I'm too old for fruit loops, or fruity pebbles, or cocoa pebbles or anything else. I'm not about to start eating BRAN FLAKES just because I'm over thirty now. Give me a bowl of fake fruit flavored food dye and a bagel swamped in cream cheese and that's a good day, in my opinion.

Is "drama" a real fiction genre?
Alicia: Of course it is, why wouldn't it be?
Kattar: Because drama literally just means the story has a suspenseful plot. Every story is supposed to have drama or it's not worth watching.
Jinho: I thought drama was the same thing as a telanovela. you know, when there's insanity without a plot.
Alicia: But what about heart warming sweet things? those don't have drama.
Kattar: Usually they still do, even if it's only slight. So I say drama isn't a real genre.
Andrew: I'm gonna have to agree with him. I mean, every drama is just a combination of other genres anyway right? It's either "slice of life," or romance, or fantasy or something, so...
Melissa: Drama is a real genre, don't make me fight you.
